How the briefs are written
Every hour we collect new headlines. An AI model from OpenAI tags each one by metal, topic and importance and writes a one-line summary from its headline and teaser. It doesn’t read paywalled articles. On weekdays at about 8 AM and after the 5 PM New York close, it writes a brief from the most important reports and our own spot price feed. Every point cites the reports it came from. On Fridays it writes a recap of the week.
